New College Library
New College Library is open, for selected services, seven days a week. From 19 April 2021, we are open 8 am till 10 pm (during term time).
| 8.00 am till 10.00 pm | |
|---|---|
| Browse & Borrow | Yes |
| Click & Collect | Yes |
| Returns | Yes |
| Printing | Yes |
- ‘Browse & Borrow’ and ‘Click & Collect’ services
We have adapted our book borrowing services to enable New College members to select and to borrow the physical library resources they need from New College Library using our ‘Browse & Borrow’ and ‘Click & Collect’ services, as well as via Postal Loans:
Browse & Borrow: 8 am till 10 pm
Click & Collect: 8 am till 10 pm
- ‘Returns’ service
We have adapted our book returns service to enable New College members to return their loans (books, CDs, DVDs, music scores) within an environment prepared in accordance with COVID-19 restrictions:
Returns: 8 am till 10 pm
- Study spaces
We have reconfigured our physical spaces and rearranged routes through the Library to provide New College members with reader seats and study space that conform with social distancing. There is no longer a requirement to book your seat in advance of coming to the Library—we have removed our ‘Stay & Study’ booking system arrangements, as we return towards more normal opening. You simply turn up at the Library and find yourself a seat.
Study spaces: Available 8 am till 10 pm
- Break Passes
Seats are currently still limited in the Library, to accord with social distancing measures, so we provide ‘Break Passes’ in the Library. If you are stepping away from your desk for more than a few minutes, then you should use a Break Pass, otherwise your belongings may be moved to make way for another reader. All you need to do is to write in the start time of your break, then leave the Break Pass on the desk. Busing a Break Pass will allow you to step away from your desk for up to 45 minutes. If you have not returned within 45 minutes of the start of your break, belongings will be removed from the desk to make way for another reader.
To facilitate remote studying during the pandemic, we also provide:
- a book purchase requests service (including ‘home-delivery’ ones), for items not held in the Library; and
- postal loans, for items which are held in the Library and are available to be loaned.
Requests may be placed 24/7.
You are welcome to contact the Librarian (christopher.skelton-foord@new.ox.ac.uk) if you need any assistance or advice. We encourage you to make book purchase requests for items not held in the Library or where additional copies of texts are required. Provide the Librarian with your tutorial reading list requirements, and let him know which books will be the most important for your students. We are able to acquire some e-books as well. Please also encourage your students to access the unparalleled academic e-resources available to them.
